Visited for lunch on New Year's Day. Pub was busy with all tables booked and people being quoted an hrs wait for a table. Beer quality was excellent ( Salopian Firkin Freezin'). Food was also really good, Mrs PBH really enjoyed the Salmon Quiche, service was effiecient and freindly.

Nice pub. Beer in very good condition from a choice of four real ales. We only had the one as the extorionate city-centre prices were prohibitive.Food is also good, but fell foul of the unforgivable error of cold plates. Talking of foul, the confit de canard was dry and crispy, certainly not how it should be. Service isn't great. No smiles, no enquiries about the meal, etc. Strange custom of serving tea/coffee crockery before pudding, then not clearing the pudding dishes before commencing coffees! All making for a cluttered and messy table.If only they treated their customers as well as their beer!

I have had a couple of very enjoyable Sunday lunches here.It's a spacious pub with a lovely garden. Food is good and there are plenty of tables inside and outside so even on a busy Sunday we didn't have to queue. Beer is excellent - always at least four cask ales on tap, usually sourced locally. Staff are friendly. Can't really fault it. A gem of a pub.
